  • Piano like tone
Size: Light Tension Style: Full Set
I play mostly jazz / pizzicato. I put these on and immediately noticed a much brighter, piano like tone. I think I am really going to like them.

  • The #1 String for the price !!!
Size: Medium Tension Style: Full Set
These are the best Pizzicato and bowing strings for the best price. The only strings that never leave your fingers blister and sound very good in every range. They sound consistent with a pickup and microphone. Great for Orchestra and Jazz !!!

  • quality, versatile strings
Size: Medium Tension Style: Full Set
these are good synthetic strings. i play a mix of arco and pizz, and am a full time bassist and music teacher. bow responce is gennerally very good. i've read the E strings were weak, which i have not experienced. on my instrument, the zyex A string doesn't respond particularly well to bowing. the rest of the set bows very easily and has a nice warm, big sound. for pizz / jazz playing, these strings are my favorite i've used so far. excellent sound and feel. i'm playing on an 1880s tyrolean flat back bass. i've used them in jazz contexts, symphonic, and classical solo repertoire. my only complaint is that the A string doesn't seem to bow as well as the others. aside from that, sound and feel are both very nice. i've had them on my bass for about 3 months now. satisfied. not the last set i'll ever use, but i'm not in a hurry to try anything else. ... show more

  • Great Strings!
Size: Medium Tension Style: Full Set
Missy Raines suggested I try these to replace my Ed Ferris set up since I finally ran out of my stash of Kaplan Golden Spirals. My old 47 M-2 Kay is sounding mighty fine with these great strings and less than half the price of the Thomastik Spirocore and Golden Spiral setup I have been using. Thanks Missy! ... show more

  • Best I've used yet!
Size: Medium Tension Style: Full Set
After a great deal of experimenting with different brands/tensions over the years, I think I've finally found my strings; Zyex! They feel great under the hands and deliver a warm round sound from the lowest position all the way up the fingerboard. They bow well too. I would highly recommend these strings to anyone looking for a versatile and easy-to-play string. ... show more

  • nice tone and feel, but very short life
Size: Medium Tension Style: Full Set
I have gone through several sets of these in the last couple of years. I like the feel and the sound overall (although last time I put on a new set they were uncomfortably bright before they got broken in). However, the last two sets of these I've used have died after about 4 months of use. At first I thought maybe I had a defective set but now that it has happened more than once, I know that that's what I can expect if I get these again. What has been happening is that the strings start to unravel at the bridge (the G especially) and the tone quickly suffers. I have also asked other bass players who have used these strings about their experience with them, and have been told the same basic story of them wearing out after a few months. I will not be buying these again. ... show more
